Working Mom Moments | Work Life Balance, Energy, Stress, Career, Time Management, Mom Guilt

Today's episode features words of wisdom from my friend, and corporate jungle gym scaler, Shantel Love. Shantel shares her perspective of confidence, communication, boundaries and imposter syndrome. But perhaps the most powerful part of the conversation is wrapped around the concept of "borrowing confidence". It's an approach that was fairly new for me months ago, but I have leveraged in times I needed to feel bold...but didn't quite feel it. 

Get ready, this conversation is a powerful one!

Do you want your kids to see the positive aspects of being a working mom?

Are you looking for a way to blend your work and family life together more?

Is your job a mystery to your kids? 

Do you find yourself trying to compartmentalize what happens at work and home - striving to keep them separate?

If you've listened to any of my episodes, you know I talk a lot about striving for a work life blend vs a work life balance. You hear me encouraging you to discard our old way of thinking about balance and why that’s important for our emotional and mental health. BUT, how do we actually achieve this blend? One way is by making our children feel included in what we do every day at the office.

In today's episode, we're going to touch on six easy ways you can include your kids in your career...starting today!

What are the sticky floors holding you back at work and at home? 

Are you confident in expressing your worth and value as a working mom, or do you downplay your achievements and contributions? 

How comfortable are you with asking for help and setting boundaries to create a healthy work-life blend?

In this episode, I sit down with Erica Rooney to discuss her concept of "sticky floors" and "glass ceilings" - and how they impact working moms. While sticky floors refer to the internal barriers, beliefs, and behaviors that hold women back, glass ceilings represent the external barriers and limitations that prevent women from reaching their full potential.

As a Chief People Officer, keynote speaker, and executive coach, Erica shares her personal experiences and provides insights into her framework that helps women break free from sticky floors and overcome self-imposed limitations.

From the importance of building confidence, taking calculated risks and creating an inclusive culture in the workplace that supports working moms...to boundaries and effective communication...no topic is off the table in this discussion!

Ever heard a message so good you wanted to replay it over and over again? Well...that's today's episode!

Even executives who appear to have it all together struggle with the same working mom guilt that many women are conflicted with. In today's episode, we're talking with former Google Global Executive, Erika Gerdes about the hidden layers of working mom guilt. 

Among my favorite truth bombs she drops are the following quotes: 

"What we are calling mom guilt is not guilt at all. It's shame... Guilt is what allows us to make a slightly different decision. Shame is what keeps us going and never stopping."

"So much of what motivates us is continuing to do more and be more... when we do more, when we become more, then we will be enough."

"We're running away from failure... we're running away from being seen for what we fear we actually are, that we're failures, that we're mediocre, that we're replaceable."

Buckle up - this is going to be a ride to remember. But a necessary journey to walk through in order to gain confidence as working moms.

Have a beautiful day!

Summer is in full swing! For kids that means laid back schedules and fun in the sun! But for working moms, oftentimes the summer months provides a whole heck of a lot of stress.

Camps, activities and sport schedules usually don't align with a working parent's schedule, causing you to adjust hours in order to make sure everyone gets where they need to be. This places extra pressure at work and home. For others, they're relying on a friend or babysitter to get people where they need to be while juggling schedules from the office.

Seeing all the posts on social media about fun activities other families are enjoying while you're cranking away at projects at work, can cause a reaction of guilt knowing you want to make the most of your summer with your kids as well.

You're in luck! Today's episode is all about how to make this summer your best yet!
